Scouting Comments:
"A left wing/center who played in the USHL and is going to Vermont. Good size, 5-11 to 6-feet, 195/190 pounds, and a good skill level. Skates well and a good, solid, all-around 2-way player with offensive ability" ... Colton [and Lohin] are guys you get now so you aren't bidding for them in three years as NCAA free agents. -- Lightning Director of Amateur Scouting Al Murray.

Scouting Comments:
"Ryan Lohin is very similar to Ross Colton. He’s a 96-born, both are 96-born guys that have gone through the draft a couple of times. Both came on this year to have real strong seasons in the USHL. Both are going off to college, he’s going to Lowell, and are going to be – from what we understand – big parts of both their college teams. Again, a 2-way guy with offensive skill. Not real big, 6-foot tall, 190 pounds, good puck skills, some offensive ability if you look at his numbers in the USHL he was over a point a game and these are the kind of guys that if you don’t take these guys as 19-year-olds as they are late-bloomers, then you’re chasing them for the next three years as free agents in college hockey, so both guys impressed us enough that we wanted to draft them." -- Lightning Director of Amateur Scouting Al Murray

Tri-City won its first Clark Cup championship with a 4-1 win in Game 3. They’re partying in the streets of Kearney, Nebraska. Zuhlsdorf was on the third pair for the Saints, in a different role than he was as on offensive defenseman for Sioux City. He ends his USHL career and will head to the University of Minnesota next year.

Denver got up 6-0 on BU before the Terriers got on the board, but by then it was way too late. MacLeod got in the lineup, which was a plus, but played sparingly. His sophomore season concludes in the national tournament. MacLeod’s latter part of the season was marred with healthy scratches and limited play. Hopefully his junior year has the former Lightning second rounder in a more prominent role.
